I started tinkering with slime a little while back, and it had been working pretty well. I just replaced what I had (whoops) with what is now in CVS, with the "FAIRLY-STABLE" tag specified.
What version of XEmacs are you using, and do you know if it's got all the major ("sumo") packages installed?
It's working for me with CMUCL 18e and both XEmacs 21.5-beta16 and XEmacs 21.4-patch6.
I get a couple of messages when I start slime:
The first appears in the *Warnings* buffer: (3) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
This one appears in the minibuffer: itimer "itimer-0" signaled: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "lee-hook")
Could you try setting `debug-on-error' to true in Emacs? That should give elisp backtraces -- please send them, they should indicate the real problem.
When I start, slime has wandered off into space, until I break out. Here's the CMUCL backtrace:
[...]
8: (ACCEPT-TCP-CONNECTION 8)
It looks like CMUCL is waiting for Emacs to connect with a socket, but an error in the Elisp code has prevented it from doing so.
